A foreigner entered Korea 2 months ago with an international driver's license issued abroad that covers passenger cars. Which of the following may this person do in Korea? (No disqualification or driving ban applies.)
An international driver's license issued abroad can be used for 1 year from the date of entry, but it cannot be used to drive business vehicles under the passenger or freight transport business acts (Article 96 of the Road Traffic Act). There is, however, one exception among business vehicles, so distinguish it from driving for commercial service.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Article 96(2), an international driver's license issued abroad does not allow driving commercial vehicles under the passenger or freight transport business acts, except that renting and driving a rental car is allowed. Driving a taxi or a commercial truck for business is not allowed. Also, under Article 96(1), an international driver's license may be used only for 1 year from the date of entry.
